should be 1500-1600 at least...the pouch is scratched a bit, probably beacuse of the usage.

That`s a beauty, and with some interesting features. I`m intrigued by the taper on the release cord, food for thought, there :)

He´s the guy who got me the star mace. I took some pictures of his sling, but deleted them by accident.

Can you give us some background info on the sling. Where it came from? How you got it? Do you know anything about who made it?

These puruvian slings are absolute works of art!!!!!!! I'd love to learn how to make an accurate reproduction.
